Quite like the idea of being able to laser etch onto the face of the disc instead of printing labels and wasting ink?
Full Version: Lightscribe Cd/dvd Writer?
Just brought an external lightscribe cd/dvd writer for my new mini laptop and just wondered if any of you guys use them? And which discs do you use/reccomend?

wow just realised i have one built into my laptop never even noticd lol, sorry i obviously cant help you though 
I have one, they don't laser overly dark in contrast but they look better than scribbling with a marker pen.
Been using RiDisc I think there called, not sure as im not in my study. Good discs though, no faults so far. Lightscribe discs are a tad more to buy though, almost to much in difference. Ebay I found pretty reasonable on them.

Hi mate, had Lightscribe & Labelflash drives, take way too long to print/burn the other face IMO
and have only monotone results. Not worth the increased cost of the specialised discs mate.

I have one,
they do look good when done, but as wozza said, they take a while to do, and the discs can be a little expensive.
Photos look good on them

Cheers guys,
Just found some disc's at 50 for £9 which is about the same as i'd pay for 50 standard?
Dont really do many cdr's or dvd's but like to have a cover on the disc for all the photo albums i do, so the time it takes is just one of those things really, plus the drive i've just brought has different quality settings so can do 1 in about 7mins (according to the book?) at low/medium quality and in good quality about 20mins
When you put the cost of buying the cd sticky covers and the ink i use, it probably works out not much difference in cost?
But good to know they do a good job

Ive got lightscribe on my external burner...dont ever use it though ..i found it easier using sticky labels for DVD/CD disc`s and use MEDIAFACE for printing them of..
Bit delayed, but I've got a lightscribe writer and find it's a good way to label discs. Use Verbatim discs myself which have been fine.
However, I've got an Epson printer that can print directly onto discs and find this to be a much better solution for things I actually want to look good
